The SP11 is slightly more refined and has double PCI-e connection from the PSU side which is good for a high current power hungry card like a 5700XT (using 2 PCI-e links rather than 1).

 

Both are very much on pair with one another but considering the SP11 is just 2 euros more expensive and you're definitely getting those 2 euros more worth of hardware I'd go with it. The RMx is more famous and known so it's natural every one would jump at it... nothing wrong with it either.

Hey everyone, i've decided to upgrade my existing pc components and need to choose the power supply. 

 

Some specs:

Ryzen 5 2600 (probably will overclock after buying aftermarket cooler)

RX 5700XT (will buy when aftermarket GPU is available in my country)

 

The PSU's that i chose are A+ tier in PSU tier list.

NZXT E650 (costs 90 euros)

be quiet! straight power 11 650w (costs 112 euros)

Corsair RM650x (costs 110 euros)

Seasonic Prime Gold 650w (costs 125 euros)

 

I would go with NZXT E650, but not sure and would love to hear your responses. Thanks in advance.

Personally I'd go with the corsair, I have a Rm750, and Tx850 in 2 different systems and have had good experiences with both.

Corsair RM650x is a tier 1 PSU with the straight power 11 and seasonic prime not far behind it, in my opinion it doesn't really get much better than the corsair RMx series, I had 2 different ones so far and had no problems whatsoever apart from having to upgrade the RM550x to RM750x White due to my system needing more power (and extra points in cosmetics ofc)

Recently bought a pair of RM750x for my and my dad's PCs, completely silent until my unit gets shouted over by the GPU fans when gaming. Plugged one of my SATA power cables to the other unit cause it has more drives. Can definitely recommend.

Thanks for your answer. Will choose your suggested PSU. Have a nice day.
